COMMENTS: Manny manny manny, manny Manny manny Manny Manny manny manny manny. Manny. Manny? Manny! Manny! Oh yeah, and there's a game tonight, against the team one game ahead of us and in the division lead, so if we win, we're in first place. The Snakes have their ace, Webb, on the mound; but Lowe has to be so stoked about getting Manny (and finally some potential run support) that he may bring his good stuff to the game tonight. Don't get distracted by the Manny mania, Dodgers--we have an important game to play tonight, the first of four against the Snakes.

Nice trade the Nedster pulled off earlier in the day. There was some interesting chatter at DT from someone who claimed to have been talking to Dodgers FO people about LaRoche in the adult baseball camp, who told him they felt LaRoche wouldn't hold up through a full season at third. Also, Andy has had labrum surgery, and his power hasn't come back since. So far, neither LaRoche brother has been worth it. Will two months of Manny?
